Okay, sure he has a gorgeous wife. Three beautiful children. Is gorgeous himself. Has immense amount of talent in directing and writing. Was named Entertainment Weekly‘s Entertainer of the Year. Has been People’s Sexiest Man Alive. Seems like a really decent guy. And even comes from Massachusetts.
But today Ben Afflek didn’t get an Oscar nomination for directing Argo. Like the song says, you can't always get what you want — or in this case, deserve.

ReplyDeleteToday, The LA Times is running a readers' poll asking, "Why?"
imho, I believe voters assumed he would be nominated by other voters — and they, instead, voted for someone else on the list.
Many deserving directors were left off the list this year.
